WARNING
Unwanted Shocks – Always program ICD Therapy to OFF
prior to handling the device to prevent the delivery of serious
shocks to the patient or the person handling the device during
the implant procedure.
2.11.2 Thoracic Impedance
The thoracic impedance is measured between the distal shock-
coil of the RV lead and the ICD housing. Up to 1,024
measurements are done every hour and these measurements are
then averaged. The 24 measurements per day are stored in the
device and transmitted via Home Monitoring. The Home
Monitoring website then displays a trend of the daily average. The
same trend of daily TI averages is displayed on the programmer
upon interrogation of the ICD. The TI trend does not replace
assessments that are part of standard of care for the clinical
practice. The clinical value of this feature has not been
established for the management of patients.
Note: Pocket and or lead revisions may affect the TI trend data.
Therefore, the TI trend data should be interpreted cautiously within 6-
10 weeks of a revision.
2.11.3 Home Monitoring
®
Home Monitoring enables the exchange of information about a
patient’s cardiac status from the implant to the physician. Home
Monitoring can be used to provide the physician with advance
reports from the implant and process them into a graphical and
tabular format called a Cardio Report. This information helps the
physician optimize the therapy process, as it allows the patient to
be scheduled for additional clinical appointments between regular
follow-up visits if necessary.
BIOTRONIK conducted the TRUST study to evaluate the safety
and effectiveness of Home Monitoring. Refer to Section 1.6.4 for
details regarding the study design
and results. With the TRUST
study, BIOTRONIK was able to show the following with regards to
Home Monitoring:
BIOTRONIK Home Monitoring information may be used as a
replacement for device interrogation during in-office follow-up
visits.
